Have Fun while practicing Adult Self Defense Martial Art Karate from our 73-year old, 9th Degree Karate Master with over 45 years of teaching experience. Our students’ average age is 45+. There are a few teens in class, but folks in their 50s and 60s far outnumber them. You will enjoy watching the teens struggle to keep up with the old folks!

We’re different from your average karate school because:


• It’s La Rentrée! we invite you to a unique evening in the lush gardens of the French Embassy.

• The French Touch: come spend your Friday evening in the French Embassy’s expansive and beautiful outdoor space to mix and mingle with francophiles, French VIPs, diplomats, professionals and business people.


Well-Paid Maids isn’t just a living-wage cleaning company — it’s a smart choice for pet owners.

When we say living wage, that means our cleaners earn at least $24 an hour, and we offer benefits, like insurance, 24 days of paid time off and more. Because we take care of our employees, they take care of you — and even your pets!

Labor Day marked the unofficial end of summer. Now, it’s time to lean into the back-to-school season.

For parents, that means getting the kids stocked up on supplies and settled back into a routine. Even if you aren’t attending back-to-school nights, there’s still a sense of freshness in the air. It’s a time to get organized and refocus until the holidays.


Heads up: Well-Paid Maids will be OOO this coming Monday. Labor Day is one of four paid holidays we give our employees. They also get an additional 20 PTO days each year.

Labor Day feels particularly important to us. Taking the day for a little R&R allows us to reflect on our employees’ hard work over the past year and show them some extra appreciation.
